Can I buy a ticket for somebody else?

Yes. If you're travelling on the same flights, simply add your own name as the 'First passenger' on the 'Passenger details' page and then the other person/people as the second passenger(s) onwards. If you're not travelling on the booking, please make sure that the name of the person travelling is in the 'First passenger' box.

The email itinerary receipt will be sent to you as the credit card holder, and it’s your responsibility to pass this onto the passenger who’ll be travelling. They can check in on ba.com using Manage My Booking, the mobile app, or at the airport using their booking reference (PNR) or passport.
